Item Finder
Item Finder, a Fabric utility for Minecraft 1.21.11, helps players locate items held in containers near them.
What it does
The mod caches the inventory of each container a player opens, then shows the nearest container holding the selected item on a heads-up display. The HUD lists the current target item with its icon, the distance to the nearest match, the number of containers that hold it, and its position in the active search list. A status colour marks whether the item was found, not found or the search is disabled.
Outlines are drawn directly in the world around the nearest containers, with the containers of the selected item shown in green. The HUD position can be set to top-left, top-right, bottom-left or bottom-right, and it is placed so it does not overlap vanilla potion and status effect icons. The client needs Litematica, MaLiLib and Servux as required dependencies. A server running Servux with its entityDataSync option enabled lets the search reach containers without a visit.
Key features
Nearest container display
A heads-up display shows the nearest container that holds the target item and the distance to it.
Container count and status
The display lists how many containers hold the item and colours the status as found, not found or disabled.
World outlines
Boxes are drawn around the nearest containers, with the selected item's containers outlined in green.
Automatic cache updates
Opening a container records its contents, and the cache refreshes when it closes so a new search runs at once.
Background search
A periodic search re-runs every configurable number of ticks so results stay current as the player moves.
